Mixed Media TAG - using NAT-306

Hello Everyone, it's me, Dunja, from Germany. Sorry for being quiet, but the health is more important than crafting, right? ;) Well, I am happy, to be back again. I'm here today to show you my latest creation using the great Southern Ridge Trading Company stuff. I created a mixed media TAG and I've used the NAT-306 Leaves. They are available in two different sizes and I used both of them for my creation. The tag is full of layers, different styles, colors, mediums and pearls. I colored the leaves with my Faber-Castell Gelato's. I love those colors. The size of the tag is 20x7 cm.

Here is a little How To that'll show you how I created my TAG on the base.

At first I've used Gesso and then I added the colors of the Faber-Castell Gelatos: Snow Cone and Acqua Dolce.

ThenI did some stamping on the background. Thelinesare very delicateand it looks great. AfterstampingI have used the theMaskArt- GeometricTiles withthetexture paste, applied with a spatula, thenithad todry briefly.
